Question

Each of the following is true of the Fugitive Slave Act except that it .

established federal commissioners to judge fugitive slave cases

angered Northerners who felt it made them assist slaveholders

would punish citizens who helped fugitive slaves

paid judges more money to rule in favor of the slave than to rule in favor of the slave-owner

Answer 1

"paid judges more money to rule in favor of the slave than to rule in favor of the slave-owner" — this is false. The Fugitive Slave Act actually paid commissioners more to return an alleged fugitive to the slaveowner ($10) than to release them ($5); the other three statements are true.
